glutton for punishment

[pixmedic]

Nearing the end of a self inflicted 36 hour shift. Assuming i can get cleared on time.
These kinds of hours are only worth it twice a month.

It must not be dull being a medic in Florida.

I suspect it is not dull being a medic anywhere.

That's a long haul my friend. Longest I've ever done was 18 during a blizzard. 6AM until midnight and that was murder.

 

[cwcaesar]

Wow, that is a crazy long time.

 

[sm4him]

36 hours, wow! Kudos to you, and so many others like you, who work those kind of hours just to keep the rest of us alive and kickin'. There is absolutely no way I could work a shift like that; by the time it was over, I'd be causing a lot more problems than I'd be solving!

I'm not even all that productive sometimes in a regular 8 to 5 job. But don't tell my boss; she thinks I rock.

I'm sure EMTs in Northern Maine would beg to differ. Presque Isle is the only town in the US that had a McDonald's go out of business.

Sorry, I can top that. Reading Pa. We had a McDonald's at the main intersection at 5th and Penn St. They closed up within a couple years of opening.
BTW, sorry for the hijack, but no one is taking my Trashtown record away without a fight :lmao:

I don't doubt that, Rick... But was it the ONLY McDicks in Reading? That was the case in Presque Isle.

Rats...you got me there :hail:

Yeah northern Maine is like being in another world, almost frontier town vibe.

my uncle was a medic in south Boston during the 80s and boy does he have some stories.
